Help expose NATO lies
Urgent Message from Sloboda (Freedom) Association and the International Committee to Defend Slobodan Milosevic (ICDSM)! The Freedom Association in Belgrade and the ICDSM, based outside Yugoslavia, are the two organisations formed at the request of Slobodan Milosevic to aid in his defence. Up until now our main work has been threefold. We have publicised the truth about The Hague's phoney trial. We have organised research to help President Milosevic expose NATO's lies. And we have initiated legal action in the Dutch and European Courts. Now our job has increased. The defence phase of the "trial" starts in May 2003. No longer will Mr Milosevic be limited to cross-examining Hague witnesses. The prosecution will be forced further onto the defensive as victims of NATO's aggression and experts from Yugoslavia and the NATO countries tell what really happened and expose media lies. Moreover, Mr. Milosevic will call leaders, from East and West, some friendly and some hostile to the truth. The controlled mass media will undoubtedly try to suppress this testimony as they have tried to suppress Mr Milosevic's cross-examinations. Nevertheless this phase of the "trial" will be the biggest international forum ever to expose NATO's use of racism, violence and lies to attack Yugoslavia. We urgently need the help of all people who care about what is happening in The Hague. Right now, Nico Steijnen, the Dutch lawyer in the ICDSM, is waging legal battles in the Dutch courts and before the European Court. These efforts urgently require financial support. We now maintain a small staff of Yugoslav lawyers in Holland, assisting and advising Mr Milosevic full-time. We need to expand our Dutch facilities, perhaps bringing in a non-Yugoslav attorney full-time. Definitely we must guarantee that we have an office and office manager available at all times, to compile and process evidence and for meetings with witnesses and lawyers and as a base for organising press conferences. All this costs money. And for this, we rely on those who want Mr Milosevic to have the best possible support for attacking NATO's lies. Here's how you can help: You can contribute by credit card.
